Performance
I found this video from SmartWargames (which is a bit long but if you make it through or skip some parts ;) ) it is very useful!

  • 1. Go to NVIDIA Control Panel -> Manage 3D settings -> Program Settings -> CMSF2


.

  • 2. settings

Anistroppic filtering = 16x
Antialiasing - Mode = Override any application setting
Antialiasing - Setting = 8x
Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample optimazation = Off
Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias = Clamp

Leave the rest!


  • 3. Ingame settings

3D Model Quality = Improved
3D Texture Quality = Best
Antialias/Multisample = On
-> Advanced
Tree Detail = Low
Shaders = On

I followed steps 2 and 3 with good results. Mission 8 of TF Thunder lots of trees and really laggy mouse inputs (sometimes up to 30 seconds after they are made). I also launched from the AMD control panel instead of steam, dunno if that makes a difference guess I'll find out when I boot up tomorrow. Cheers

is there no way to tweak the resolution?

Pretty good, Im not sure about leaving Vsync on tho considering it tends to lose frames with no noticeable improvement imo.

@S4IN did you enable "shaders" (alt + r)?

@The Crescent Hawk afaik there is no real fix for the performance which gives you more than a few FPS, sadly.
Only tip which does improve FPS noticable is deactivate Shadows and Foliage

I get horrible jagged shadows and I can't find a way to get rid of them. Any suggestions?

So, I guess the only question I really have is, during large scale battles how does your setup handle the improved graphics? As it stands, I have a very powerful setup and my computer struggles to run Combat Mission at it's most intense moments. I know it's due to poor optimization but, are there mods to improve these known issue?
